To allwhomz't may concern: I

Be it known that I, LOUISE ALLEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at l-lawarden, in the county of Sioux and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Cigar Rest, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a novel and simple cigar holder which may be stamped from a single strip of sheet metal; and to provide a process of making such an article.

In the accompanying drawings illustrat ing the invention, Figure l is a perspective view of the invention;

' Fig. 2 is a section through the median portion of the device; and

Fig. 8 is a plan view of the blank from which the cigar holder is formed.

Like numerals designate like parts in each of the views.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in carrying out the process I stamp from a sheet of metal a strip of the approximately elliptical shape illustrated including the stamping of the tongue 2, and the stamping of the openings 3 cut in the end 1 and the tongue 2, preferably aligned, as shown in Fig. 3. The blank thus stamped is then applied to a suitable form and pressed into the shape shown in F l and 2, said shape consisting of the upwardly bent middle portion l and reverse or downwardly bent portion 5 and upwardly bent free end 6, thus forming the bowl '7 which is the receptacle for the cigar. The tongue 2 is not pressed from its original disposition in longitudinal alignment with the end 1, those members thus forming a flap base for attaching the device to a 'wall, desk, or any flat surface. The manner of using the device is illustrated in Fig 1.

What I claim is:

As a new article of manufacture, a cigar holder consisting of an elongated strip of metal having a tongue formed within the .body of the strip, said tongue and the adjacent end of the strip being aligned to permit of attachment to a vertical wall, and having openings for fasteners, the free end of the strip being bent to approximately right angles to the tongue and adjacent end of the strip and formed into a plurality of looped portions, the outermost of said looped portions being of suitable shape and size to hold a cigar and in a position spaced substantially apart from the wooden or other vertical wall to which the device may be attached.

Mes. LOUISE ALLEN.
